paradigmer The best way to convince your wife is to show her results. Follow through with treatment, get better, and do something around the house. Then maybe all the men in Panama will become hoseheads As for self diagnosis and treatment, we all have a bit of that mentality. I learned early on in m...

I plan to give my kids something really importantto fight over.
THE BILLS .

I've notice that also. I wake up after 2 hours feeling like I've had a full nights sleep. Can you just imagine what a fully oxygenated body could do with 8 hours, if you can feel that good after 2!!!

I gave the same disertation to my pulm. dr. and she ordered a data capable machine and said we'ed titrate ourselves instead of another night in the lab. From what I've read here, that might have been the smartest "fit" I've ever pitched .

I also got the flu during all of this. What a bummer!!!

It's those "secondary" infections that get you every time. While the body is off trying to solve one problem another problem sneeks in.
The Death Certificate then reads " Complications of __________"

Deep Breath (If only I could) and here goes... I visited my Dr. with nonspecific complaints. I'm tired, tightness in my chest, short of breath. I really expected him to tell me I was having a heart attack and put me in for a quintuple bypass! Instead, he referd me to a pulm. dr. for possible sleep a...
